UNSPSC 50523454: Non GMO malaga grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO malaga grapes. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50523454 Non GMO malaga grapes (Commodity) describes fresh grape supply to state and local institutions, though recent opportunities under this code show minimal activity specific to non-GMO malaga varieties. Instead, the recent state and local procurement activity tagged to this code reflects broad fresh-produce sourcing for school nutrition programs, regional parks, and healthcare facilities—spanning multiple fruit and vegetable categories rather than a single specialty product line. State and local buyers are soliciting fresh produce through a mix of issuing bodies: school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education) dominate the recent record, followed by county parks and recreation departments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state agencies (State of Georgia). School districts show repeat procurement activity, with multiple districts issuing RFBs or ITNs for produce in the May–July 2026 timeframe to support National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program operations.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Wisconsin, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (200+ line items, bid due June 26, 2026, July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027 contract term); Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 estimated annual value, bid due July 29, 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (5,900 servings weekly, sourcing within Wisconsin and 400 miles of Madison, bid due July 29, 2026); Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables (400-mile sourcing radius, proposal due June 22, 2026, July 20, 2026–June 30, 2027 contract term); and Collier County Board of County Commissioners' ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park and Sun N Fun Water Park (due March 6, 2025, three-year term with renewal options). These solicitations emphasize delivery reliability, food-safety compliance (HACCP plans, E-Verify verification), domestic and local sourcing preferences, and pricing stability over the contract term. The code shows no recent activity specific to non-GMO malaga grapes as a distinct commodity; broader fresh-produce procurement dominates.
